North Brunswick detectives are looking to identify a male known as “Mr. Quick-Change”.
The suspect is wanted for entering local big box retailers on multiple occasions and performing a “quick-change scam”.
When at the register, he allegedly places two items of small value on the counter and shows a $100 bill to the cashier. Midway through the transaction, he would ask for the $100 bill back; once given the $100 back he then shows the cashier coins, in attempt to represent his intent to pay in exact change, according to information provided by the North Brunswick Police Department. This back-and-forth is designed to intentionally mislead the cashier into providing more change than deserved, which has lead to a $90 theft each time, according to the allegations.
Anyone who can identify the suspect should contact Detective John Strzykalski at 732-247-0922, ext. 331 or jstrzy@northbrunswicknj.gov
Tips can remain anonymous.
